What players say
Graphics are good and the gameplay is interesting. Multiplayer is buggy but it works for the most part, I got this to see if I might want to buy the newer 1800 game, and I just might. It is a fun time but a bit micromanaging for everything,
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
well, i played this game on steam it was called anno online, but the server was shutdown. i brought the game a while back but didn't play much, if you have never played any anno game before you can start with this one, highly recommended. you are responsible of colonizing an empty island and make its people grow, trough gathering resources and trade and protect it from any threats that can be mobs or pirates or...
I really want to thank Ubisoft for wasting my time and not allowing me to play a game I paid for in the evening when i wanted play it again after 4 years. They deleted my Ubisoft account and created a complete mess with licence and connection between steam and Ubisoft. Total garbage and waste of my time, totally unnecesary
